I failed to post about Artist Row 2012? How did that happen?! Oh, yeah. That busy thing called LIFE.
Artist Row 2012 was great. Tons of people showed up to look and shop. The Rochester Public Market is a fabulous venue in our city. It always draws the crowds!
This was the first year I did this show even though this was the eighth (or ninth?) annual show. I didn't even know they gave awards until I saw several judges hanging around my booth.
Then they walked over and gave me an "Honorable Mention" award! Can you believe it?! I still cannot believe it.
This show is filled with the best artists in town - names that are well known in the big art circles - artists who show in the galleries - artists whose work I adore. And I am not in their league - no way, no how.
Yet, they gave me an award. One of only 10 for the whole big show. How cool is that?! The award came with free booth fee to next year's show! Yay!

These are new BINGO marker pendants, very vintage Anagram game pendants (these are from the 1940's), and a few mahjong tile pendants.
This is half my booth set-up with my domino pendants up front. That's me in the back, with my certificate. My mom made me pose for a bunch of photos with the thing. Way to make me feel like an elementary school girl - kind of fun, though! Thanks, Mom!
It was nice to do an outdoor show for once. The Public Market has wonderful covered space, and I didn't have to fuss with a real show tent. A friend helped me put up a small canopy just to keep the late day sun off my work.
I'm so looking forward to next year at Artist Row 2013! What a delight to feel I really earned my spot!

It was such a wonderful thing to be able to congratulate you on your honor at Artists Row. You deserve it!! I LOVE the necklace I got from you that day, I'm actually wearing it right now. :)
Of course you are in the big leagues, my friend! Have you SEEN your work?? :-)
Congratulations!!
